A former Goldman Sachs executive accused of raping an Irish student during a party on Long Island, New York, appeared in court on Friday and was ordered to return again in a week.
Jason Lee (38), who was a managing director at the financial firm has denied raping the 20-year-old woman at a luxury holiday home in the Hamptons last year.
He denies charges of rape, assault and sexual misconduct. His lawyer has previously said the sex was consensual.
The prosecution alleges he had been celebrating his birthday in August 2013 when he met a group of Irish students marking the end of their holidays and invited them to the house, which he was renting with friends for $33,000 (€24,000) a month.
The investment banker was charged after police were called to the house on another matter in the early hours of the morning.
Mr Lee has been released on bail and he and his lawyers made no comment as he left the court on Friday.
